On the other hand previous generations didn't spend their entire time entertaining their kids so maybe you are on to something! I don't have kids but have trying to escape the rat race which had become my IT career. Instead I have tryed 4 months of self-employment- which was great fun but didn't make much money! Now Iam combining a couple of different jobs which still give me 2 full clear days to write so hopefully long-term I will find a way out! I must say going back to manual work is a) keeping me fit and b) elimnates your following reasons:# 2, 3, 8, 9 10!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6645833037243333394.post-21261641716563537932008-02-07T00:09:00.000-08:002008-02-07T00:09:00.000-08:00i didn't keep a journal but i kept in mind things ...i didn't keep a journal but i kept in mind things that i learned as i did the shift. like getting in costume for work, even if i wasn't going out of the house. <BR/><BR/>and i told myself that i wasn't willing anymore to take on work that i didn't really really feel passionate about. :)<BR/><BR/>i'm so excited for you! keep at it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6645833037243333394.post-87741316460394799222008-02-04T04:19:00.000-08:002008-02-04T04:19:00.000-08:00hey lara, nice to see you here! yup, i followed yo...hey lara, nice to see you here! yup, i followed your footsteps. did you ever keep a journal of your own life shift? would be interesting to look back on those days now....Lexihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10726358409767416731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6645833037243333394.post-20016902515025438392008-02-03T07:12:00.000-08:002008-02-03T07:12:00.000-08:00hey lexi! congratulations! i just discovered your ...hey lexi! congratulations! i just discovered your blog today and really enjoy reading it. :) a lot of what you say remind me of the same reasons that made me make my little "silly" decision a year ago. so happy i did! here's to many more adventures for you, your B and the kids! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6645833037243333394.post-55806813848809621542008-01-31T03:50:00.000-08:002008-01-31T03:50:00.000-08:00It's the balance that makes the difference and the...It's the balance that makes the difference and the flexibility. As a single parent of two very independent and confident children I believe they benefit from childcare away from me. But the hours they spend away from me are limited, manageable and flexible.<BR/>Thanks for reminding me to post - I,m off to do that now.<BR/>Caititsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13278818768249253488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6645833037243333394.post-69008654059979262222008-01-30T19:48:00.000-08:002008-01-30T19:48:00.000-08:00@itsy: thanks for your comment. i checked out you...@itsy: thanks for your comment. i checked out your blog and i hope you post some more.<BR/><BR/>@divine: thanks for the link. i'm going to blog about a similar topic soon so this will come in handy. watch out for my post!Lexihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10726358409767416731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6645833037243333394.post-71458865170315183862008-01-30T18:10:00.000-08:002008-01-30T18:10:00.000-08:00Thank you for posting this article.
